This version of "Express Yourself" is fantastic. Where did you find it?

From Amsterdam, via Saltillo, Berlin and London, here comes the 31st mix carefully selected for you by Worldwide FM resident Coco María (@cocomariamusic). Interview (excerpt) down below.

MFM: Hi Ana, welcome aboard the series. How's your been summer so far?

CM: Hi. Thank you! Today, I came back from We Out Here, very inspired and happy. So, right now I would say this summer I have been very lucky. I was able to travel, to play in many nice parties, and festivals with lovely crowds (big and small), met many of my friends, and made new friends.

MFM: You're originally from Saltillo, Mexico. Can you tell us a bit about growing up there?

CM: It is a city in the north of Mexico. Desert and mountains. Quite a big city. My parents are very musical people and I grew up surrounded by music and family and friends. My mom and dad always made efforts to inspire us, triggered our curiosity and they love road trips so we traveled a lot in Mexico when I was a kid.

MFM: I've read you left your studies in Mexico and moved to Europe. What was the reason for this change?

CM: I finished my university studies (Education Science and Psychology) and literally, the day after I got my diploma ( 22nd of June) I left and have been living in Europe since then. I always wanted to travel and get to know other places. When I was 18, I went to Berlin with my friend Olga, and I fell in love with the city immediately. I was very determined to go and live there. I felt it was the city and energy I needed at that time: it worked out, with a 4 years diversion through London.

MFM: Mexico knows a different culture and traditions when compared to Europe. What would you say are the main differences?

CM: At the beginning the differences were very strong to me: food, weather, people, shops, now 11 years later, the biggest difference are the daily life worries. For example, In Amsterdam, I rarely feel unsafe in the street. There are more opportunities to develop, grow and do what you love, without worrying about your personal safety or so much corruption. In Mexico, the weather and nature are amazing. The food and the warmth of the people is something I miss quite often.

MFM: This year saw your compilation 'Club Coco' being released in collaboration with Swiss label Les Disques Bongo Joe and which features all new music. How did you get to this particular selection of artists and songs?

CM: The first song I wanted to include was “A big Brain” by my friend Nic Mauskovic because I felt this had to be out there. That was what initiated the project and I curated it thinking of a line up... Imagine having all these bands together! Most of the bands are my friends or I have worked with them, it went naturally and felt very familiar.

MFM: It also includes a track of yourself, which is a highly rhythmic percussive work out with lots of brass and your vocals dubbed on top. Can you show a bit of insight in the writing and recording process of the song? Did you work with live musicians for example?

CM: The initiative was from my friend Max Weissenfeldt. He is a brilliant musician, composer and runs the label Philophon. We want to make a Jazz album. This is our first song and we recorded it in Berlin. Then he moved to Ghana, I moved to Amsterdam. And the pandemic hit. I have not seen him since january 2020! Max recorded the music with a live band in Ghana and their names are Pitches, Osei and Kung Fu´u. 

MFM: Do you have more ambition in producing your own works? Perhaps there's something in the pipeline already? 
Would love to finish that jazz album with Max, while he is in Ghana: we will work on the distance. 

MFM: Google Translate says the title 'Me Veo Volar' means 'I See Myself Fly'. Is there a nice story behind the title maybe? :)

CM: “Me veo volar” is about getting rid of fears that weigh you down… and making space for what you really want and take off! At that time I was having some realizations :)

MFM Mix 031: Coco María

Next up on Idle Cellars we have San Francisco’s best kept secret ‘Matias’ with a sweet sundown selection.  A perfect soundtrack to drinking wine at Sunset, this is a smooth journey that’s been pool tested and really hits the spot ✨🌴✨
Some words from Matias:
This is the music I want to listen to when vibes are high, and I'm surrounded by ones I love. I tried to create an arc much like the setting sun, mimicking the shifting moods we experience as day turns to night. This mix is filled with tunes that are near and dear to my heart.
Matias is a DJ with a deep bag and a deep connection to music. Growing up immersed with the sounds of a wide variety of genres and digging for the right stuff was his go-to. From making punk rock mixtapes in highschool in the early 90s, deep diving into all things jazz, and finding rare swamp boogie bangers - he's put in some serious time.

Originally Recorded  April 2013

After starting out playing in Sapporo in the late 70's, DJ Nori moved to NYC in 86' where he formed a friendship with Larry Levan, and began playing with him at clubs like Choices and Trax. Nori immersed himself in the NY dance scene as both a fan and a participant playing at a variety of spots and befriending people like Larry, David Mancuso and Walter Gibbons etc...
In 89 he returned to Japan to become a resident at Tokyo's legendary club "Gold", Nori held down that residency and continued to travel back to NYC and various spots world wide. He has had several long running nights amongst them "Smoker" and "Gallery". Nori has released original work, put together great compilations, and mix albums. Through it all he has continued to keep the underground NYC vibe alive and has been a great ambassador for both the NY and Tokyo music scenes, whenever David Mancuso takes the Loft to Japan, Nori is always involved with the proceedings. We are really happy Nori made time to roll up to the home office to record this set.
Special thanks to Taka for doing some translation work, and to Yuji Kawasaki for helping set the afternoon up.

X-Press 2 and Moton Honcho Darren House aka Diesel has been making and playing great music since the early 80's, and has a deep and complex sensibility that comes through in both his sets and production work. Initiated to a broad range of sounds (from Ibiza's Balearica to acid house warehouse parties), Darren started playing gigs with DJ Harvey and Ashley Beedle, and with Harv and Dave Jarvis started the Moton label (really a gold standard for great edits still). Teaming up with his pal Rocky (Darren Rock) to form X-Press 2, (releasing London X-Press, Muzik X-Press) and world-wide fame and success followed, joined for a time by Ashley Beedle, (more on him soon enough) X-Press 2 rolls on, and Darren keeps digging and working on new projects. (look for SOB and some solo work soon) Darren has been one of the heavyweights of dance music on all levels for the past 3 decades. He is also a great pal and we are psyched to have him finally on board with this elegant set.
